🏠 Portland, OR Merle Law is a singer-songwriter based in Portland, OR, whose songs create an intricate tapestry of memory and longing. Initially working under the moniker Palm Sunday, Law has developed a sound driven by untraditional counter rhythms, a melodic tide pool and personal poetry that relates to the listener. Born Meredith Law to a Philly drummer and a singer from south Louisiana, Merle’s influence pulls from a vast library of songwriters. Merle Law’s approach, recording to tape on a cheap nylon string guitar with a spectral band, is steeped in the textures of the homes they’ve inhabited: from the moss-draped bayou to the deep and foreboding gray fog of the Pacific Northwest, and the illustrious roads in between that connect them. Law’s new album was recorded by Ryan Oxford at Color Therapy Recording and is set to be released in 2025.
